Description: Text reads 'Many blamed the little girl's wayward cousin for her worsening behaviour...' The cartoon shows one little girl called 'La Nina' pouring water from a watering can over a teddy bear while another wicked little girl called 'Climate Change' eggs her on. Context: The strongest La Nina weather system in 50 years has brought historic flooding to Australia and drought to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, driving up food prices. Scientists now believe climate change is probably enhancing the impacts of the famous El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a cyclical climate phenomenon that affects weather patterns around the world.
